Geese & Gator


Another piece for a weekly club contest.
This week's special guest was David Colman who
is my idol when it comes to animal design.
He shared a lot of advice with us and some of them
really hit home especially since i've been feeling
a little discouraged lately.
"Honor your practice, respect the process.
It doesn't happen overnight."

So yeah this week's prompt was:
Follow the Leader

I drew mother goose with her newly hatched
babies. One of them so happens to be a baby gator.
He follows mother goose and the goslings around
as if they were his family.
